The house is finished and the woman does not want me drilling holes in the ceiling !! im now tryin to run the cable down the cavity wall from the attic beside my sky coax cable but getting it down and locating it behind the wall aint the easiest task!!

Ah..... would it be possible to use a conduit of some description? There are several types available, I have a wood effect one because my lounge is very "woody". There are others that can be painted or papered over. I would just worry about signal quality, interference, etc with that wireless effort.

I have a situation where I cannot get a CAT5 cable near my tv but I was thinking of using something like this to send the MD content to the TV!!

Would appreciate any help as its bugging me not being able to get media to this TV!!

As far as i know there are no Linux drivers for the USB transmitter so currently this would not work.

What cables do you have 'near' your TV? Power I assume ;-).... and also I assume you must have some Coax too? There are ways to get IP across both of these if you manage to locate a small ion based MD behind or mounted on the rear of the TV....just an idea ;-)

ya it pretty much throws that idea out the window! I have power and coax going to there, have a few spare coax cables which were installed and are doing nothing, would i get good enough transmission this way or am i best bitting the bullet and getting my drill out?

The alternative would be to use 200mbit or GigaBit PowerLine adapters (ie HomePlug)...these would be the cheapest option but are a bit more bulky. Locate the MD on the back of your TV and then use either the eth-Coax adapters or the HomePlug equivalent and you in business.

If one of the coaxes doesn't do anything, could you not use it to get the CAT-5 cable in place? Assuming they end up in the right place, you could disconnect the coax in both ends, connect it to the CAT-5 (duct tape or something strong) and then pull the coax until it have been replaced by the CAT-5 in the cable pipe (unsure of the English name).
